City Council.

The city council will meet Saturday
night. Matters OF importance are
to be considered. The council works
hard. Few members of such bodies
devote more time and take greater in

The reports which are made to that
body by the committees show indus

stances display greater knowledge up
on some matters, the interest they take
in the subject matter brings them up
to very ineligible conclusion.

warm with indications OF rain, which
will soon be needed. The wheat har-
vest Is in full blast. Wheat will aver
age 10 bushels per acre. Oats are
very irregular, and will make all the

Cotton is late, but in splendid condi-
tion. Corn is fine, and roasting ears
will ripen about the last OF June.
DR.. G. G. Gillespie, of Dallas, lee
tured to a largo audience last night on
prohibition. Owing to bad health he
could not speak very loud, hence some
parties in the back part of the house
could not hear him very distinctly. He
made good talk and produced solid
arguments. The pros organized a
prohibition club after the meeting
with % members. G. G. Derr is pres
ident. We think the club will be
doubled-perhaps trcblcd-at the next
meeting.

Hint to the Ladies.

IL is now very fashionable in many
eastern cities for tho ladies to have
their photographs taken with hats on.
j. II. Webster, the II. Z. Photographer,
advises the ladies of Dallas to adopt
the hat style in photography, as most
every lady will make prettier pic
ture with hat, moreover it will save
you much trouble in the arrangement
of the hair and prevent the spelling of
many good pictures. Call at Web
ster's and try with hat on.

Ben Wade and Beecher.

called upon Ben Wade shortly be-
fore he died and chatted with him
about his remarkable career. He told
me how, as a boy, he walked across the
mountains from New England to Ohio,
and understood he kept his memory
green to the day of his death. Shortly
before he died he made a remark about
Beecher which is rather interesting
The story is told me by leading cit-
zen Of Jefferson, o., where Wade lived
and died, and where his sons still re-

somersets upon religious questions. and
this gentleman, Mr.. French, brought
in the paper describing Beecher's new
attitude and laid it before Wade. Wade
read the paragraph, which was pointed
out TO him, and was then asked as to
what he thought of Beecher.
He raised his hand and brought it
down upon his knee with slap as he
said: "Beecher! Hang Beecher! Beech

It is evident to the traveller who
travels on n thousand mile ticket, and
who formerly travelled on pass, that
the companies have been tampering
with their conductors. The pass trav-
eler had got SO that every conductor
knew him. and did not look at his pass
but once a year. to get the number
of his new pass. Now the conductor is
as careful with him as with an ybody.
The traveller looks at the conductor os
he comes along and winks in the old
fashioned way as he did when he had a
pass, but the conductor will not have
1t that way. The traveller finally takes
out his thousand mile ticket, which he
hopes will last him year He thinks
the conductor will look at it as mere
matter Of form, and perhaps tear OFF
mile or two, and hand it back, but the
conductor is not constructed in that
manner II the traveller is going to
Chicago. the conductor begins to pull
out the precious miles, until he gets
eighty five, and it seems to the traveller
rs though he would not leave
enough to come back on. The
traveller looks cross, and feels hurt. and
plainly shows to the conductor that
while they have always been friends,
during pass days, they can never be
anything to each other hereafter but
strangers. The conductor acts as
though he is sorry things are thus, but
he can't help it, and he hands back the
almost empty thousand-mile book, and
the traveller looks at the remains as
hen may look at a nest that has been
robbed of its eggs. In Chicago the
traveller thinks maybe ON the return
trip the conductor will relent, and that
perhaps they may be friends again, but
he calls for the ticket in the same
cold tones. and the traveller hands it
out, with his heart in his mouth, finds
his voice and says, "For heavens sake
60 light on that" Without moving a
muscle of his face the conductor, who
was once such jolly good fellow. be-
gins to pull out the miles until he has
captured eighty-flve, the exact number,
when he hands back the empty
shell, and the traveller is so mad he
looks out of the window and does not
speak 10 his old friend, the conductor,
all the way back. The traveller feels
hurt. He feels that the conductor has
been tempered with, and that there is
a conspiracy between him and the COM
pany to get all there is. And yet the
traveller is wrong. II the conductor did
not take the full amount. he would be
beating the company that employs
him, and the traveller would be an ac-
cessary to case of petit larceny. He
sits there and pouts. and is mad be-
cause the conductor will not steal miles
from the company and give them to the
traveller. 1t will take about year for
some travellers to realize that business
is business, and that il he wants anyone
to steal for him he has got to hire a
man, and not try to 60 ''snucks" with
an employe of the railroads. That's
about the size of it.-Peck's Sun.

THR RATTLR OVER.
Mayes and Smith Seated for Good
Last Friday.

TAntEQrAn, Dec. 2Gth. 1857.
The transactions of last week at
the Cherokee capital are now mat
ters Of history, and in these days
of hurry, steam and electricity are
as old to the general reader of the
times as was the news of a month
previous to our forefathers. But
it may not be uninteresting to the
readers of the CHIEFTAIN to be-
come acquainted with some of the
leading incidents that are mixed
up with the results of which they
have already heard.
To one who has been on the
qui viUe for the novel and unique in
a political poker game, where
"bluf'' and "straddling blinds"
are the ruling tactics, there has
been much TO cause one to look
behind events for some secret
motive not generally understood.
Certainly in the rear of apparent
ly innocent pretense there has
been the smell and clovon foot Of
his sooty majesty, "squat" there,
not to play tricks, but TO learn
them of those who have gotten
ahead of their teacher.
Had it not been for the arrival
here of General Armstrong, with
the authority to adjust difficulties,
there is no telling when harmony
would have been restored. His
presence here, though unasked for
by the Downing party, has pro-
ven a great benefit to the entire
country. Clothed with authority.
either persuasive or dictatorial, it
cannot be denied that his presence
was not necessary. 1t may be
truly said that we could have
brought matters to a termination,
but not to one Of peace and salts
faction, or TO anything approach
ing their conditions. Although
we may congratulate ourselves on
having our difficulties so speedily
settled, yet the causes Of this in
reference must ever remain mat
te.s ofregret to any but a harden
ed politician whose prtriotism con-
sists in domineering the affairs of
his country. 1t may be a great |
satisfaction TO feel that at the very |
verge Of destruction that one has
been drawn back, but it is in the
act Of deliverance the pleasure lies
and not in the danger that threat
ened, which should be a warning
for all time TO come.
Although there has been much
see-sawing and "chawing'' on
matters since council met, the full
merit Of the reasons why the count
Of the vote for chief has been so
long deferred is not understood.
The amount Of squirming and
agonizing to prevent the count is
fax in excess ofthe seriousness Of
any event less than death. While
il was generally acceded that
Mayes had been elected, there was
honor in legally establishing the
fact, and proclaiming him chief
which could not be accorded.
There was no way Of escape from
this determined course except a
dsregard Of the law and voice Of
INC people, and by the will .of su.
iloiior numbers aud tho arbitrary
power Of advantage when the time
came 10 reckon tho vote. The de.
lay ~ determining who is chief

h|aycs Ia the count and the fcar
that Il would be resisted and lead
